Grok is pretty bad. No wonder usage is low. I think they messed up when they removed the human annotation team and went in the direction of automation.

The bet can eventually pay off when they figure out how to train without human help and also generate useful models. Imagine is terrible too.

More competition is great for us users. I hope they recover. In the meantime why not hosting oss models like google does?

My understanding is that inference (running existing models) is around 1/4th of the average compute budget for AI companies. Training new models takes up about 3/4ths.

As such, using only 11% of their GPUs indicates that they've elected not to do as much training as they are capable of.
